   @arunisaac I find the #FSF directory because I often web search software by function, then look to FSD for details of license, language etc

     @arunisaac #FSD has category searches too, which will get more useful as it gets populated, they can use more volunteers to confirm licenses

     @arunisaac what would be really useful would be a complete version history of the code for #FSD entries, load balanced with #WebTorrent

     @arunisaac TBH I know nothing about #GNUNet except that its some kind of P2P framework that is part of the #GNUProject. Which was my point

     @catonano by #FSD I mean the Free Software Directory maintained by the #FSF

     @arunisaac I've heard a lot about #Tahoe-LAFS but I've never seen it in the wild. #WebTorrent you can try out at #BitChute.com

     @arunisaac Can you point me at any websites currently using #Tahoe-LAFS for load balancing in a similar way?

     • Arun Isaac (அருண் ஐசக்)
     @arunisaac my mistake. But no, I'm no aware of IPFS in the wild either. Pointers?

     @arunisaac have you looked at #Bitchute? I presume its using #Webseeds on a server, like #Archive do, but for streaming instead of downloads

     • Arun Isaac (அருண் ஐசக்)
     @arunisaac yes, it will be good when Transmission and other end user #BitTorrent clients add full support for #WebTorrent (and #Webseeds)

     @arunisaac but for #BitChute you don't need a client other than a browse, and you only need that open to watch the stream on the website.

     @arunisaac I presume #BitChute is streaming to others as you watch videos there, just as normal #BitTorrent upoads to others as you download

     @erictapen @arunisaac awesome, thanks for the link.

     @erictapen @arunisaac as I understand it #WebTorrent just uses #WebRTC to bootstrap #BitTorrent protocol support within the browser

     @arunisaac @erictapen and as I understand it #WebRTC is just a bridge for bootstrapping P2P connections using HTTP. Could #IPFS use it too?

     @erictapen @arunisaac what was the advantage of rolling their own protocol instead of using a well established one like #BitTorrent?

     @arunisaac I'd like to see #MediaGoblin or #Plumi implement something like #WebTorrent or #IPFS

     • Arun Isaac (அருண் ஐசக்)
     @arunisaac then, as with #BitChute, users of sites hosted with them can share the storage and bandwidth load

     • Arun Isaac (அருண் ஐசக்)
     @arunisaac it also seems like a more robust way to do #federation between self-hosted video sites than strapping on #pump.io or #OStatus

     @arunisaac #BitChute is a good proof of concept for #WebTorrent but I'm not terribly  impressed by its current selection of content

     @catonano me too. I've been collecting some links about P2P web hosting possibilities here
